Tigase
Encyclopedia
Tigase is an open source (GPL3
) project started by Artur Hefczyc in October 2004 to develop XMPP
server implementation in Java
.
Initially the goal was to develop fully compliant XMPP
server with backward compatibility with informal XMPP
specification. In time the project has been split into smaller parts - server implementation, xmltools containing parser for XML
streams and test suite with built in scripting language.
In summer 2006 client side library and application in Java have joined Tigase project.
